Run of the Whenever results are up. This contest goes down in history as the RotW contest with the most participants! The competition for 1st place was really tough. Be sure to check it out.
There will be a new RotW contest very soon, but this time with a little twist/surprise. I can tell you as much as it marks a new beginning for future RotW's. Stay tuned for more :)

The day has finally arrived that Quake turned 5 years!! There's a cool interview with John Romero and Tim Willits up at Methos Quake. The article even mentions some of the QdQ projects as a part of the most important events in Quake's history....Kewl!! :)

On another note there's a new speedmapping contest going on at Quake Speed Mapping. Part of the goal is to build speedrunning maps that we may use for future RotW contests on SDA! (be sure to read the "rules" on how to make a good speedrunning map). So if you're a skilled mapper and would like to see your map on SDA, then this is definitely worth a look.

UPDATE 11:19 PM
Also praise to Filip Söderholm with setting up a mirror for all of SDA's demos! Links to the demos on his server, in Sweden, now show up in all the demo.pl links.

In case you are head on over to the cheated site. There's a big fat update with loads of 100% demos!

sda@pq is working again, so please use that for sending normal demos again. ROTW demos should go to Stub only...

Those of you using DOS Quake probably wonder what to do about fatal-error.bsp. If you name it fatal-er.bsp then you can watch all the demos. But that means if you record then people with it named fatal-error need to have two copies. *sigh*... lets just say you might have to rename your bsp to watch demos.

Run of the Week...ehem!...of the Whenever is back with a vengeance!. The object is to get to the exit as fast as possible either as a single player or as a 2 player coop, using this map. You're welcome to do mad-coops as well, but they won't count as an entry, but I'll put them in the final package as eggs. All your demos must be recorded using the latest version of QdQStats and sent to me. Time to sharpen your bunny skillz folks :)

Results will be posted June 27th

Well the time has come for me to leave to the Army. I'm going to boot camp for the entire summer where I will get my ass beat into a fine young soldier! Just wanted to let everyone know that I am leaving Mr. Stub's in charge of my page and to direct all cheated/naked demos to stubgaard. Thank you for always being nice to me everyone, and if I was ever a dick to you on ICQ it's just because I'm usually working on something when I'm online :) Bye Nolan, continue to own those Zelda RPG's for me (I just beat Seasons).

Fatal-error is literally what has happened to the planetquake mail server. We get multiple copies of the emails we've been sent, so until the problem has been fixed, please send your demos using this link.

We've recieved quite a few entried for Fatal-Error, but only two people managed to reach the 8 second barrier.

• Daniel Andersson improved Nolan's Easy Run of fatal-error by 2 seconds to get 0:08 using a completely NEW route! Well actually this route is the old one, coz Daniel did his demo one month ago :)
• Valeriy Burmistrov did the Nightmare Run in 0:08 too, using Nolan's route! Is there anyone crazy enough to try for 0:07?
• Daniel Hansson improved Justin's Easy Run of r1m1 by 1 second to get 1:16.
• Filip Söderholm managed to improve Fabian's Easy Run of doom2_08 by 1 second to get 1:32.
• Carl-Johan Andersson did the Easy Run of darknite 1 second faster than Justin to get a time of 1:28.
• He also did the Nightmare Run 4 seconds faster than Marlo to get 1:29.

Assholes aside, there were people who submitted valid votes for the poll, and It's been a slow process because of all my game addictions but now I can add a real map.

Yes, just one.

Yes there will be more later.

No, Stubby doesn't know what they are or when they'll be added; stop bugging him.

Don't even think about bugging me.

I expect high quality demos :-)

The map is fatal-error, reviewed at shambler's site. Download it here, or if you're feeling lucky, on fileplanet.

Since the author made a little boo-boo in the design, the run on this map is pretty quick.... I did the easy run in 10 seconds.

That's all...

What the fuck is this!?!? Isn't it supposed to be all sunny and warm in the middle of June?? It's so friggin' cold here in denmark that my balls has shrunk to half the normal size! I wanna see boobs, I wanna see thongs, I wanna see naked chicks god dammit!! Ok ok, I'll stop rambling about girls now....errr, for now :)

Single player demos:

• First up we have an awesome demo from Jozsef Szalontai also knows as the Hungarian bunny machine. He totally owned my Easy 100% of e4m8 which he did 53 seconds faster to get a time of 2:58!! THIS IS A MUST DOWNLOAD
• Next up we have another outstanding demo done by Daniel Hansson. He wasted Jesse's old Easy Run of mexx2 by 1 second to get 0:09. It couldn't be closer to 10 seconds as the time he got was a 0:09.99!
• Jonny Andersson improved Arturo's Easy Run of mexx8b by 1 second to get a time of 0:20.
• Daniel Hansson decided that the Nightmare Run had to be improved too, so he owned Marlo by 2 seconds to get 0:20. This is the same time as the easy run.
• Jonny wasn't satisfied with his previous Easy 100% of pit, so he tried some more and came up with a 5 second improvement to get a time of 2:17. *spoiler* There's still a trick which no-one has used yet, but it only works in a Nightmare Run. I can tell you as much as it includes alot of Vore-balls! *spoiler*
• Daniel Andersson wanted to get both runs on evildead, so he improved Justin's Nightmare Run by 4 seconds to get 1:01.

Coop demos:

• DanielH/Jonny/KimSvea did the Nightmare 100% of e1m1 in a time of 0:34 (1:05) Table filler.

• DanielA/Fredrik Eckers did the Easy Run of evildead in a time of 0:42 (0:46) Table filler.

In case you can't download the demos don't blame us. The new FilePlanet system truly sucks.
Does anyone have a 1GB ftp server they would like to share with us?!?! :)

• I did the Nightmare 100% of e2m5, 10 seconds faster than my previous record to get a time of 2:09. Still the same route and same amount of mistakes! Oh it's also 10 seconds faster than Qd100Qr :)
• Newcomer Carl-Johan Andersson improved Marlo's Nightmare Run of discord by 1 second to get 0:52. This is certainly a very nice demo for a newcomer.
• Daniel Hansson improved his Easy 100% of frbdbase by 2 more seconds to get 0:45.
• Jonny Andersson improved Jouzas' Easy Run of escape by 1 second to get a time of 0:49.
• Jonny also improved his Easy 100% of empire by 6 seconds to get 2:44.
• In my last update I forgot to mention Daniel Andersson's Nightmare Run through czg01 which he improved by 1 more second to get 1:53. Sorry Daniel, it won't happen again....
• Daniel also did the Easy Run of evildead in a time of 0:46, 2 seconds faster than Fabian.
• Daniel Hansson and Jonny Andersson keeps improving their Easy 100% of e1m1. This time they did it in 0:31 (0:54), 1 second faster than their previous record. Optimum time?
• Martin Thorning and Filip Söderholm improved Marlo and Fabian's Easy 100% of e3m5, which they did 2 seconds faster to get 1:10 (1:32)

I think my little poll for what maps to add has been going on long enough now, don't you? I've looked at the votes and I've decided what needs added. The clear winner of the poll was ... *drum roll*:

DM3!

In fact, it blew away everything else in the poll by so much, that I think that's the only thing that needs added for the next two months, at least! To get things started, I did the easy run in a time of 0:57. Make sure you check it out... if you can download it that is (stupid fileplanet).

Here's the rest of the demos as promised:

We kick it off with two very cool id demos:

• Daniel Magnusson improved upon his Easy 100% of e3m6 which he did 5 seconds faster to get 2:08. This demo really rocks. It's soooo hard to get all the monsters to cooperate on this map. Check the egg demo for a Houdini trick done by one of the Ogres!
• Martin Selinus did what I knew he was capable of doing. He improved his Easy Run (the long way) of e2m1 by 1 second to get 0:43. He gained the few missing tenths of seconds by getting a Grunt boost!

Non id demos:

• Basil de Vries improved his Easy Run of alk07 by 3 more seconds to get 1:01.
• Daniel Hansson never stops playing czg07a. He improved his Easy Run by 2 seconds to get 1:20.
• Jonny Andersson improved his Easy 100% of empire, by 9 seconds to get 2:50.
• Jonny also improved his Nightmare Run of dxm by 5 seconds to get 0:10.
• But he didn't stop there. He also did the Nightmare Run of escape, 2 seconds faster to get 0:54.
• Daniel Magnusson improved Basil's Nightmare Run of real by 5 seconds to get 1:10.

Coops:

• DanielH/JonnyA/DanielA and new guy KimSvea did the Nightmare 100% of e1m1 in a time of 0:32 (1:05) New to the tables.
• DanielH/JonnyA/DanielA/KimSvea did the Easy 100% of pit in a time of 1:10 (2:22) New to the tables.
• DanielA/JonnyA/DanielA did the Easy 100% of czg07a in a time of 2:34 (4:30) New to the tables.
• JonnyA/KimSvea and yet another new guy named Damien did the Nightmare 100% of escape in a time of 1:22 (1:34) New to the tables.
• DanielH/DanielA did the Easy Run of pse3 in a time of 0:18 (0:23) New to the tables.
• DanielH/JonnyA did the Easy 100% of e1m2 1 second faster than Marlo and Fabian to get a time of 0:37 (0:51)
• DanielH/JonnyA did the Easy 100% of e2m3 7 seconds faster than themselves to get a time of 1:01 (1:17)
• DanielH/JonnyA did the Easy Run of e3m5 1 second faster than Peter and Atilla to get a time of 0:34 (0:58)

Jozsef Szalontai the Hungarian bunny machine shows that he's capable of doing 100%'s as well as cool runs. He improved my Easy 100% of e2m6 by 33 seconds to get a blistering time of 3:38 !!!! I knew this was possible, but as my bunnies suck ass I'm glad someone else finally had the guts to try it out. This demo requires loony bunny skills, alot of patience and, alot of monster cooperation, loony bunny skills, vore-balls jumping skills, fish quad-jumping skills (err NOT), oh and did i mention loony bunny skills?

To show you how much speed skillz have developed over the years consider this: Jozsef has just done the Easy 100% in 3:38. The first "Easy Run" on this level was done by Justin (september 1997) in the blistering time of 4:59. A minute and a half slower!!!!! Now frankly I could do the Easy Run in less than five minutes, blindfolded and only using my dick. It's a shame that Justin's original demo is now lost to posterity :)

Other demos that has been sent to SDA will be posted soon....

• Martin Selinus never stops playing id maps. He improved Jozsef's Easy Run "the long way" of e2m1 by 1 second to get a time of 0:44. Martin says he will continue to try for 0:43, but he's not sure if he can pull it off! I know he can :)
• Martin went to a demo-party where he hooked up with Robin Kuivinen to do the Easy 100% of e3m2, improving their previous record by 1 second to get 0:34.
• Finally me and my speedrunning brother were able to do our first coop together. We picked e3m3 as we though it would be easy as pie, but we were wrong. We got a time of 0:49 though, 3 seconds faster than Marlo and Fabian!
• Amrik Kocchar improved Arturo's Easy Run of dxm by 1 second to get a time of 0:13. He has returned from Markus bunny-hopping school with a vengeance he says. PhEaR him...
• Someone finally took the liberty to improve the least favorite map on sda! Basil de Vries did the Easy Run of alk07 in 1:04, 13 seconds faster than Nolan.

It seems like some people had some difficulties recognizing the real name of the maps, so from now on they'll be posted with their bsp name instead.

• Martin Selinus improved Ingmar's Nightmare Run of e1m5 by 1 second to get 0:19. Lotsa luck is needed to pass all those monsters. MUST DOWNLOAD
• I added to the fight over e2m5. I improved Nolan's Nightmare 100% by 5 seconds to get a time of 2:19. New route, new tricks, shitty playing, but still worth a look :)
• Valeriy Burmistrov shaved another second off his Easy 100% of bb7 to get 0:36. Valeriy is a mad optimizer. He's never satisfied until he knows the time is optimum.
• Jonny Andersson improved his Nightmare Run of esc by 1 second to get 0:56. Funny map.
• Jonny also improved Stefan's Nightmare Run of dxm by 5 seconds to get 0:15. I've always liked the trick used in this map. I wonder if it's possible to do without shooting that horde of monsters first.

Holy cow, these guys must be on some kind of "speed" :)

• Daniel Hansson improved his Easy Run of Research Facility, by 4 seconds to get 1:40. No special tricks in this, mostly bunnies throughout the whole demo.
• Daniel improved his Easy Run of Core Decomposed, by 1 more second to get 1:22.
• Daniel improved his Easy 100% as well to get 4:30, 2 seconds faster than Marlo Galinski.
• And finally he managed to improve his Easy 100% of Subgud, improving his previous record by another 6 seconds to get 4:10.

But the fun doesn't stop here:

• Daniel and Jonny improved their Easy 100% of Subgud, by 36 seconds to get a time of 2:30. Taken from their txt file they weren't too happy about their previous record from last update :)
• Daniel/Jonny/Daniel did the Easy Run in a time of 0:35, only one second faster than the single player time! Seems like it should have been faster :o)
• Daniel/Jonny/Daniel also snatched the Easy 100% in a time of 2:20, which is 10 seconds faster than the two player record.

Let's kick it off with the single player demos:

• Stefan Schwoon has done his first demo in four months! He improved Andrey's Nightmare 100% of The Old City, by 261 seconds to get 9:05. Lotsa monster cooperation is needed in this map.
• Valeriy Burmistrov improved his Easy 100% of The Temple, by one more second to get a time of 0:14. Dare we say that this is optimum?
• Daniel Hansson improved his Easy 100% of Badlands 2, by 2 seconds to get a time of 2:54.
• Daniel also improved his Nightmare Run of Azurette, by another 2 seconds to get a time of 0:44.
• Daniel Andersson improved his Nightmare Run of The Forbidden Base, by 1 more second to get a time of 0:36.

We have a majority of coops in this update:

• Daniel and Daniel did the Easy Run of Azurette in a time of 0:38 (0:45) table filler
• Daniel and Daniel did the Nightmare Run of The Forbidden Base in a time of 0:27 (0:37) table filler.
• They also did the Nightmare 100% to get a time of 0:34 (0:48) table filler
• Daniel and Jonny did the Easy 100% of Subgud in a time of 3:06 (4:16) table filler
• Daniel and Jonny did the Nightmare 100% of e1m1 in a time of 0:44, 1 second faster than their previous record.
• Daniel and Jonny did the Easy 100% of e2m3 in a time of 1:08, 5 seconds faster than Marlo and Fabian.
• Evan and Justin did the Easy 100% of Phantasmal Garrison in a time of 1:36 (2:09) table filler

And we even have four mad-coops for your viewing pleasure:

• Daniel/Jonny/Daniel did the Easy 100% of e1m1 to get a time of 0:27, 1 second faster than Marlo/Fabian/Stefan
• Daniel/Jonny/Daniel did the Easy 100% of e1m2 to get a time of 0:31, 1 second faster than Carl/Mark/Jonny
• Daniel/Jonny/Daniel did the Easy 100% of e1m3 to get a time of 0:37, 1 second faster than Carl/Mark/Jonny
• Daniel/Jonny/Daniel did the Easy 100% of e3m3 to get a time of 0:42, 7 seconds faster than Gunnar/Evan/Justin

Let's finish this update off with a cool marathon:

• Marlo Galinski showed off some of his skills and improved his Easy 100% through Episode2, by 36 seconds to get a time of 12:00.

Ever since SDA started adding new maps again, the selection of the maps has basically been my decision, even though I usually got suggestions from people. Lately I haven't had time to look at the new maps and since I generally ignore any inidividual recommendations, I decided to allow everyone to vote for the maps they want to see here.

So if there's a map that you want to speedrun, or just that you want to see cool demos on, then go vote for it! Just enter the bsp/zip name and I'll ask for download locations later. You can vote for more than one map if you like too, just dont abuse the system, ok? The length of this poll is undetermined... depends on how much response there is.

Just to let you few but dedicated 'Nudists' that my page has been updated with the competition between Martin and Jozsef heating up and of course "Maximum Fleckage". I'm in the process of redesigning my entire site as it obviously needs some work on the update layout. Finally, if you want a good metal/industrial song then get Disobedience by KMFDM (excellent German band).

This update is packed with cool demos. Do yourself a favor and download them all, you won't be disappointed...

• Martin Selinus went nuts and improved Markus' Nightmare Run of e4m3 by 1 second to get 0:39. Most of the monsters somehow killed themselves at the end making it easier for Martin to survive. This is a must download
• He improved his Easy 100% of e2m2 as well, improving his current record by 4 seconds to get 0:55. Holy crap, I thought 0:58 would be optimum!
• Jozsef Szalontai went nuts too and improved Martin's Easy Run of The Alpha Project by 2 seconds to get 0:07. he used an awesome barrel jump to achieve this time. Another must download
• Jozsef improved his Nightmare Run of Cult by another second to get 0:21. Nice Ogre-GJ boost!
• Newcomer Dan Stukanev made his first speedrun in the form of an Easy Run through The Ruiner's Revulsion in the time of 0:21, 1 second faster than Josh Zayas.
• Hannu Kankaanpaa keeps improving the Nightmare 100% on The Pit. This time he managed to beat his record by 14 seconds to get 2:42.

Daniel and Jonny has done a huge amount of demos in the last couple of days:

• Let's kick it off with a demo that Daniel did by his own. He improved my Easy 100% of e3m5 by 1 second to get 1:32. This demo rocks!
• He improved Arturo's Easy Run of The Forbidden Base by 3 seconds to get 0:33.
• He couldn't leave the Easy 100% untouched so he improved that as well to get 0:47, 2 seconds faster than Justin.
• Daniel hooked up with Jonny to do the Easy Run in a time of 0:29.
• And as a little bonus they did the Easy 100% too in a time of 0:35.
• They did an awesome run on Episode1 beating Sergi and Jordi's Easy Run by 1 second to get 2:24. They even got 0:21 in e1m1...!! Be sure to check this one out.
• They did the first ever coop on The Gibplex. Easy 100% in a time of 0:52. You can only get 27/28 monsters in this map.
• Attila's speedrunning map got abused too. They improved Evan & Cameron's Easy 100% of The Pit by 2 seconds to get 1:21.
• They went on and on and did the Nightmare 100% as well to get 2:16.

This update is not entirely by the two swedes as Justin managed to sneak in a demo too.

• He improved his own Nightmare 100% of The Outer Regions by 20 seconds to get 4:21.

Alcohol is a way of life, Alcohol is my way of life, and I aim to keep it.....

• Hannu Kankaanpää improved Jonny's Nightmare 100% of The Pit by 51 seconds to get 3:12.
• Next day he tried some more and improved it by another 16 seconds to get 2:56.
• Justin Fleck keeps on playing Phantasmal Garrison. This time he improved Richard's Nightmare 100% by 10 seconds to get 2:52.
• He also took care of the Easy 100% which he improved by 10 seconds to get 2:09.
• And finally he owned Andrey as he did the Nightmare Marathon of Phantasmal Garrison, 336 seconds faster to get 7:54.
• Arturo Garcia Lasca improved Justin's Easy 100% of Horror Erotique by 2 seconds to get 1:23.
• Nolan Pflug totally owned Tim Doherty as he improved Tim's Nightmare 100% Marathon of Hell's Fortress by 592 seconds to get 26:55. Seems like Nolan doesn't know the word cautious :)
• He managed to beat Justin's r1m1 by 3 seconds while he did that marathon. He got a time of 3:14.

P.S. The Gamespy server is extremely slow at times. I crosschecked the links and they work just fine, so you just have to keep trying.

Justin is back to his usual standards....I'm glad he got that new desk of his :)

• He improved his own Easy 100% of Cult by 5 seconds to get 0:47. It takes exactly 11 ssg shots to kill a Shambler.
• He improved Fabian's Nightmare 100% as well to get 0:47, 2 seconds faster. Same time as the easy demo.
• He improved his old '98 Easy 100% of Horror Erotique by 4 seconds to get 1:25. "Horror Erotique" hmmmmm....weird name for a map!!
• He wasn't satisfied with his Nightmare Run of The Outer Regions, so he improved it by 16 seconds to get 2:41.
• He improved Jonny's Easy 100% of Escape by 1 second to get 1:06. Justin seems to be a bit irritated towards the monsters on this map.
• And finally he improved Andrey's Nightmare 100% Marathon of Phantasmal Garrison by 243 seconds to get 15:48. Look below for Andrey's demo ->

Demos by others:

• Martin Selinus improved his Easy Run of Phantasmal Garrison by one more second to get 0:23. That barrel jump really kicks ass....GET IT NOW!
• Nolan Pflug improved my Nightmare 100% of e2m5 by 4 seconds to get 2:24. Beware Nolan....I'm gonna strike back!!
• Jonny Andersson improved his Nightmare 100% of The Pit by 148 seconds to get 4:03. You finally figured out where the keys were located huh? :)
• As mentioned above Andrey did the Nightmare 100% Marathon of Phantasmal Garrison, to get a time of 19:51. 1 second faster than Richard...that's not a whole lot for a marathon :)
• He filled out the missing spot in the PG tables as he did the Nightmare Marathon too to get 13:30.

Choking your chicken daily enables you to speedrun faster........

• Timo Nieminen improved Ilkka's old record of e3m3 by 1 second to get 0:26. It's nearly impossible to get a decent run with all those stooopit monsters in the end!
• Justin Fleck improved Nolan's Easy 100% of r2m5 by 13 seconds to get 3:11. Does anyone have the guts to challenge Justin/Nolan on the Rogue maps?
• Andrey Stepanov improved Basil's Nightmare Run of Phantasmal Garrison by 1 second to get 0:33. The last bit of this map is damn hard to survive.
• A shame for Andrey that Martin Selinus did it 1 second faster to get 0:32.
• Martin also improved his Easy Run to get 0:24. This demo rocks!
• He improved his Easy run of The Alpha Project by 1 second to get 0:09. Damn close to 0:08!
• Jonny Andersson filled out the missing demo in the The Pit tables. He did the Nightmare 100% in a time of 6:31. Did you have a hard time finding the right keys Jonny?!? :)
• Daniel & Jonny did the Easy 100% of From Out Of Nowhere, to get a time of 0:47, 1 second faster than Nolan & Evan.

Summertime has finally arrived here in Denmark. There's half-naked chicks all around and everyone is getting heavily loaded....what more can you ask for?

Justin got a new desk which enabled him to improve some of the oldest records in the tables:

• He did the Easy 100% of r1m6 in 2:16, 24 seconds faster than Will Marsh. That was his last single player record!
• He also did the Nightmare 100% of r1m3 in 2:47, 34 seconds faster than Nolan's ancient keyboard record!
• And finally he did the Nightmare 100% of r1m4 in 4:24, 88 seconds! faster than Nolan.

Next up we have Daniel "Fleck" Hansson. He has been sending in demos like a madman since he started speedrunning, just like Justin in the old days :)

• He did the Easy Run of The Outer Regions in 1:22, which improves his previous record by 1 second.
• He improved his Easy Marathon of Phantasmal Garrison too by 1 second to get 4:10
• Daniel hooked up with Jonny (as usual) and improved their Easy 100% of e1m1 to get 0:32, beating their own record by 1 sec. That's the 70th demo on this map!!
• The same two runners did the Easy Run of rd1m2 to get 0:21, 1 second faster than Ilkka and Juho's previous record.

And now on the rest of the demos:

• Basil de Vries did the Easy 100% of Ephemerality to get 0:56, 4 seconds faster than Justin.

• Basil hooked up with Richard and they got a time of 0:39, 14 seconds faster than the single player time.
• Valeriy Burmistrov improved Justin's Nightmare Run of Polygon Base by 1 second to get 0:07, equaling Peter's easy run! Optimized?

All the demos on this little update are from the two Quake mission packs. If you dont have them, you've surely missed out on a lot more than just these!

• Richard and I did all the remaining levels in the Rogue pak which had no 2-player easy 100%s:
  • r1m7 in 1:58, 46 seconds faster than the single player.
  • r2m6 in 2:34, 38 seconds faster than the single player.
  • r2m7 in 2:22, 1:42 faster than the SP.
• Tim Doherty filled did two more new marathons on the rogue pak. His mission seems to be to do them all... good luck with the NH, tim.
  • Nightmare run through the first episode in 22:42.
  • Easy run through both episodes in 30:32.
• Justin Fleck did the easy 100% of hip1m2 in 2:06, seven seconds faster than my previous record.

That's it for now...

Although Carl and I hadn't talked in years I knew that it would only be right that he deserved an update. You see, back in the day we were coop buddies and he's been in the community as long as I have. Although I normally respect people's decisions, I find the decision to leave hard to stomach. Even though I could never turn my back on so many great friends which have helped me in the past I can understand how some people just need to 'move on'. Later Carl, I hope you stay in contact with us unlike some who have left in the past.

Check out these demos:

• Jozsef Szalontai improved Peter's really old easy run of e2m3 by 1 second to get 0:33. Kids, don't attempt the ogre grenade jump preformed in this demo.
• He also improved Markus's e2m5 easy run by 2 seconds to get 0:27. Damn, this guy is good, very few runners can improve Markus's amazing demos.
• Carl Tholin improved Peter's e2m4 easy 100% by 5 seconds to get 1:35. By the looks of his txt file, this is his last quake demo =|.
• Daniel Hansson improved his easy marathon run through PG by 8 seconds to get 4:11.
• I improved Andrey's pg2 nightmare run by 1:41! to get 3:03.

The dynamic server has been down for almost 2 hours now... it blew up just as I was finishing this update. I'm going ahead and posting the news even though you can't get anything without using my ftp, which by the way, will be gone by Saturday. (Dynamic server back up at 8:40am)

Some final thoughts... fuck it... i gotta go.

Phew. What seemed like a year away from the internet was actually only 2 weeks! My ISP went bankrupt and of course cut me off without notice. However, I switched to cable modem and will return to the regular updates of my page.

On another note, Will has returned from his grave and will be posting the next ROTW. I'm not quite sure when this will be, but I'm just glad to see Will is back and alive.

For those that are unaware, there has been a Quake done Quick 'movie' production of "The Rabbit Run" in production for some time now. It's faced the usual delays associated with such things, but progress continues to be made. Along the way, some of the speed runs were improved too. In order to keep people informed, but to keep the demos secret, only the times for the news demos were posted here on SDA. That's why there's some records on the id maps that are not downloadable.

Since Trr-the movie, is taking almost an eternity to get released, we've decided to post some of these unposted demos which will be in it. Not all of them though. :) So, download all the following demos, some made more than two years ago, and marvel at the bunny skills you wish you had! I know I do.

• e1m1 in 0:23 by Markus Taipale. This one already counted for one of the 66 demos on this level, mentioned last time.
• e1m2 in 0:31 by Ilkka Kurkela. Note: This is not part of Trr; a 0:30 by Markus has been listed in the tables too, it will remain unposted.
• e3m1 in 0:24 by Markus. e3m1 is the #2 map in turns of number of demos...
• e4m2 in 0:30 by Markus. I can't come close to the trick used at the end!
• e4m3 in 0:39 by Markus. Gotta love that quad grenade jump.

Anybody else think Markus should start a bunny hopping school?
